PHP displays a code in browser rather then execute but only for virtual hosts

Question

I have installed fresh LAMP on Ubuntu 13.10 After installation PHP works fine if i put the PHP code to default localhost web folder /var/www

I created the virtual host. I did it as usually before and never had problems I added the file to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and activated

but then when i enter this virtual host in browser i can see the code of my index.php file in the browser.

Also when i execute php code from command line i can see source of the code and it is not executed.

What can this be?

Misconfiguration of apache? Did you execute "php index.php" and you saw the sourcecode? Has index.php start and end php tags? — ocirocir

Try to use <?php and ?> not short tags, or if you want really use that (their use is discouraged due to compatibility issues), ensure that php.ini configuration have:

short_open_tag=On

thanks! this was the reason. This option was always off by default. but in ubuntu 13.10 default LAMP installation it is off for some reason.
